Or am I a retro-futurist? Who can say!

Who? Me? Total hoho.
No, Mister Repp Sir, Mark McNairy. I wouldn't suggest such a thing to Brother Forumteer...

What does a hoho sound like? F sharp?
Which reminds me...
What do you get if you throw a piano down a mineshaft?
A flat minor.
I find myself caring less - and more. Nothing to do with 'less is more' (necessarily), but managing (on occasion) to jump into the stuff without too much agonising. That's why I tend to go, straight off, for either a polo shirt or a pale blue Brooks. It is a bit like owning seven navy blue Lacoste for summer - takes the pain away. I am no stylist. Nor a creative type. I am, in fact, bone idle. But - good heavens - I'm still not only interested, but fascinated and perplexed.
Ten years on and I feel much the same way. The postings of GG - full of passion and pain - were always a joy, as was the gentle-piss taking of The Beatnik (a lovely, sweet guy away from the Internet, I'll have you know - as is GG). Don't go with the Lacoste thing now. I barely stepped foot in their store on Saturday afternoon: wrong vibe, wrong setting entirely. The pale blue Brooks is an entirely different matter. Blue for perfection, white if feeling outlandish, pink if on drugs. As someone once said. Pink I never could manage (although I'm sure GG could). What he - GG - had to say here in 2011 is even more relevant for 2021.
